Hardwood Flooring Info in Stuart, FL

​Hardwood Flooring is One of Today’s Most Popular Choices for Home Remodeling because it Offers Beauty and Important Benefits

Hardwood flooring offers many popular advantages. It is beautiful, durable, long lasting and easy to maintain regularly. While hardwood does cost about the same amount as other new high-quality flooring materials, it is also a smart long-term investment because it will last for many years. Hardwood also contributes to a healthier home environment by minimizing risks from allergies due to pollen, dust, fungus and mold.

Since hardwood flooring is available in diverse styles and a variety of popular features, you will be able to choose one to complement any interior design scheme. It will also increase your home’s market resale value.

There are three primary types of hardwood flooring currently on the market

Solid hardwood - All wood flooring, regardless of size, is a single piece of either domestic or exotic hardwood. These are called solid hardwood flooring. You can obtain unfinished solid hardwood flooring as rough boards. These low-cost boards are usually easy to install and are preferred by customers who plan to have a custom finish applied on-site. However, properly finishing the hardwood surface is quite complicated, requires prior experience, and must be done at the installation site. Professional installation will protect your manufacturer’s warranty, since many manufacturers will not honor their own product warranties unless their materials have been set in place by experienced professional installers.

Prefinished Hardwood - When purchased pre-finished, solid hardwood is delivered as ready-to-install boards that have been sanded, stained, and finished at the factory. A complete range of domestic and exotic wood species are available in a diverse choice of grades, sizes, colors, and surface finishes that will fit-in with any interior decor.

Engineered hardwood flooring - Pre-finished engineered hardwood flooring consists of boards made up of a hardwood surface glued to a plywood base. Engineered hardwoods are preferred for installation in climates with changeable humidity levels. Engineered hardwood flooring also has better stability than solid wood. Perhaps just as important, these boards can be directly glued to concrete, acoustic underlayment, or even a sub-floor that contains a radiant floor heating system.

Floating floors - This type of hardwood flooring consists of real hardwood boards featuring a high density fiber (HDF) core and a unique fastening system at each end. These “floating” floors don’t require nails, glue, or staples to fasten them to any sub-floor or underlayment. Because these floors can be set in place quickly and easily, they are a practical way to have a real hardwood floor that can be moved easily if required.
